Fairy Land

We just got back from a nice little getaway along the Central coast, and one of our favorite things to do is to wander through some plant nurseries that have a very random looking, yet beautifully structured garden areas. Everything LOOKS like it was just randomly springing up, but in actuality the little meandering paths and beautiful array of plants sucks you in, and you wander off through lovely spaces. And tucked here and there among these lovely spaces were little, beautiful fairy gardens. From that moment on my little girl had to create one--it was her mission, and it was her daddy's mission to help her--make one. Careful selections of just the right sized plants and flowers were made, with moss and pebbles for accents. And of course we needed to provide a cozy little abode, with a fresh rainbow of paint. The results are below.

Another Project Finally done

So my sister gave me her plain oak porch bench to get a little crafty-practice. It took me quite a while (time and schedule constraints), but I finally finished. Photos are a bit blurry, but still clear enough to see details. Comments are welcomed!


Wowzers!

So I'm behind, behind, behind! So many things have happened since my last post (and some things before then, too)! First things first...

The Holiday Rosamond Craft Fair (back in December, naturally) was fun! A small venue, but perfect for a first-time selling experience for Ann, Laurie, and me. I even had a few sales--even of a chair! I was so excited and encouraged. Maybe I'm actually onto something! Here are some photos:
